There is no need to be afraid there, Mercurial is not going to let you push new head/branch unless you explicitly use hg push --force.

I you are really paranoid about this, you can configure your Mercurial to make all new commit as secret (no pushable) and explicitly make commit ready to push as such. This can be achieved by adding

[phases] new-commit=secret

See hg help phases for details.
